capo 2
Intro
G Em C G x2
VI
[G]I was hoping to [Em]rest a while but this [Am]cup of coffee will have to [G]do
[G]I've got one [D]hand on the wheel and one [C]arm reaching out to [G]you
[G]Closed your eyes in [Em]Grand Junction and I [Am]ain't heard a [C]word [G]since
[G]So I'll just try to stay [Em]inside the lines and [C]mind the sideways[G] wind
[G]All I've got is the radio and this [C]empty distant [G]sky
[G]And Willie's singing somewhere over the rainbow
But [C]you, no [G]you won't see the tears in [Em]my eyes
Chorus:
Be[C]fore the night is [G]gone [D]
Won't you [Em]tell me our [C]love will linger [G]on? [D][Am][Em]
[Em]And knock that chip off your [G]shoulder In[D]to your heart of [C]stone to start a [G]spark
[Em]Cause I need [C]someway to see.... in the[G] dark
V2
[G]Thought I could be [Em]honest and you [C]thought you could be [G]true
[G]The promises we [Em]made were many but the [C]ones we kept were [G]few
[G]We were looking for [Em]green grass and a [C]warm and loving [G]home
[G]But we've got this [Em]cold concrete [C]curse in our blood and our [G]bones
[G]When we crossed that [Em]great divide it was [C]in the back of both of our [G]minds
[G]Like the rivers from [Em]that point you'd go [Am]your [C]way and [G]I'd go [Em]mine
Chorus:
Be[C]fore the night is [G]gone [D]
Won't you [Em]tell me our [C]love will linger [G]on? [D][Am][Em]
[Em]And knock that chip off your [G]shoulder In[D]to your heart of [C]stone to start a [G]spark
[Em]Cause I need [C]someway to see.... in the [G]dark
Instrumental G Em C G x4
V3
[G]The gas station on the [Em]state line where we [C]saw the posted [G]signs
[G]The government was [Em]saying they were sorry and [C]trying to apolo[G]gize
[G]About the poison in the [Em]sand and the [C]lies they told [G]again and again
[G]They thought if they [Em]gave us enough [C]money that we would all under[G]stand
[G]But babe you [Em]never will and that's [C]why I love you [G]still
[G]No matter how far we [Em]drift apart You'll [C]always have a [G]piece of my [Em]heart
Chorus:
Be[C]fore the night is [G]gone [D]
Won't you [Em]tell me our [C]love will linger [G]on? [D][Am][Em]
[Em]And knock that chip off your [G]shoulder In[D]to your heart of [C]stone to start a [G]spark
[Em]Cause I need [C]someway to see.... in the [G]dark
